The Council for Science and Technology (CST) is an advisory body of the United Kingdom government. Its role is to give advice on issues that cut across government departments to the Prime Minister, the First Minister of Scotland and the First Minister for Wales. It was established in 1993 to replace the the Advisory Council on Science and Technology (ACOST) and relaunched in 2003. It is based in London.

The Council has two chairs. Professor Janet Finch chairs meetings where advice is being developed. Professor John Beddington, the Chief Scientific Adviser chairs meetings reporting its advice to government.
